What day is it?

Yesterday I had a split schedule:  9:00 to 11:30 and 2:30 to 5:00 at the log schoolhouse.  When I came back to the house, I turned on the radio and "Wait, wait don't tell me" was on.  I thought, Whoa it's Saturday.  There is really nothing here to differentiate the days except for "P" day and Sundays.  You just look at the calendar before you go to bed and then again in the morning because you've slept and can't remember what you looked at the night before; fix yourself a lunch and off you go.  There's a joke around here amongst us old-timers that if you've slept since you knew something, ;you don't know it anymore and its pretty much true.  We went to dinner in Hamilton and the Mexican Restaurant on Friday with two couples from the Bluegrass Band, and we're going to Burlington (about and hour away) on Tuesday with two other couples who have the same "P" day as ourselves.  We're beginning to know a few people besides the missionaries we came out with and that's a good feeling.  Everyone here is really great to include you.  We had our first district meeting tonight.  We all brought something for a taco dinner, discussed answers to some commonly asked questions at the sites and visited together.  My favorite site so far is the print shop.  There is a typesetters table with type and typesetter tools on it that visitors can pick up and examine and a press that the children can ink the type with a dauber (minus the ink) and then crank the paper in and "press" the platen down onto the paper.  Its a lot of fun and they really like it.  Our challenge in each site is to build a bridge between the historical information we give them and a gospel principle that we can testify of.  For instance, in the wainwright shop (wagon builder), the brethren talk about how the hub is the center of the wheel that holds the spokes and the rim of the wheel and he likens that to Jesus Christ being the center of our lives.  We also encourage visitors to fill out a comment card and think of someone in their family or friends who might be receptive to learning more about the gospel and put their name on the card.  There is a call center here in the visitor center that contacts these referrals and asks them if they would like to have missionaries stop by and bring them a DVD or a Book of Mormon or a Bible.  Then the person has an opportunity to say yes or no.  This is a huge learning experience, but you feel support from everyone and also from the Lord.  You do the best you can and He fills in the cracks.  We hope ;you are all well.  Spring is coming here.  It was 78 degrees here to day and there are birds everywhere.  We miss you all and love you.  Grandma Jann
